Library General Satisfaction Survey

Starting today, there's a new link on the library's home page:

For the next week or so, we'll be asking you to complete a General Satisfaction Survey each time you visit the library, either physically or virtually.  Currently we're asking you to click the link on the home page to access the survey, but later the survey will automatically pop up when you access library databases or web pages.  On November 5 and 6, from 8 AM to 5 PM, we'll also ask you to fill out a survey in our lobby as you leave the building (since sometimes the use of the library doesn't involve getting on our computers, website, or databases).

You can get an idea of the main questions we are asking by clicking the photo below to see an enlargement.  Besides these questions, we'll also ask about your primary campus, your status (undergraduate or graduate student, faculty, staff, other), your college (Ag, Business, Education, etc.), and from where you are accessing the library.

The entire survey is only one page and should only take a few minutes to complete.  Please fill one out each time you visit/use the library and its resources during the survey period.  Thank you!

The DSL Wants YOU to Take a Suvery

Are you a library user?

Have you used our Discovery @ Tarleton service which allows you to search the library's online catalog and 85% of our academic databases simultaneously?

If so, we're looking for a few more people to take our survey and provide feedback on Discovery @ Tarleton.

Help us help you by telling us your thoughts.

The survey is anonymous so please give us your honest opinions on this library service.

Discovery@Tarleton Survey

• Collect, save, and share what you find

Let us know what you think! Please take our survey and give us your feedback.

Feedback: Quiet Study Area

Every year the library conducts a survey to get input from the students, faculty, and staff about the library.  We want to know how we are doing and find out if there is anything we could be doing better. (A big THANK YOU to those who take the time to respond!)  It seems like every year we get requests for more group study areas and quiet study areas.

New signage in the library now makes it easier to locate the quiet study areas! Take a look at the walls near the study rooms and tables on the upper floor of the Dick Smith Library.  You guys wanted more quiet areas...and we listened!

You don't have to wait until a survey is conducted!  The library invites you to submit a comment on our "make a suggestion" page (http://www.tarleton.edu/library/suggestion.html), by calling the library (968-9249), or just by making a comment on our LOL blog or Facebook page!   We are here to listen!
